"Questions legality" doesn't mean much. We've seen how judges can be morons even at SC level.
Regardless, at the time of Snowden's treason, it was legal.
A new law or practice can not be considered legal with any finality until it is challenged in court and is ruled constitutional and otherwise legally valid. Until Snowden's revelations the practice was kept secret and there was no legitimate judicial approval. (FISA court decisions don't count)
